File navigator
When working on Nuvolos, you typically interact with files inside a running Application. However, common file manipulation tasks can also be carried out directly via the web UI through the file navigator.
Open the file navigator
Navigate to the Space and Instance.
Make sure you are in the Current state.
On the sidebar, click the folder icon (Files).
The starting screen always shows the root folder of the Workspace area, mounted at /files in Applications. Use the dropdown below the Upload button to switch between Workspace and Personal files.
Upload files
Upload files from your local computer or from a publicly available web URL using the UPLOAD button on the top left. If a name conflict occurs, the new filename is renamed with a (1), (2), ... postfix.
Create folders
Create folders using the + FOLDER button next to UPLOAD. Name conflicts are resolved the same way as uploads.
Download files
You have multiple options to download files from Nuvolos to your local machine:
Single file: click More options menu (⋯) in the Actions column and choose DOWNLOAD.
Single folder: same path; the folder is delivered as a ZIP archive.
Up to 10 selected items: select items via the tickboxes, then click DOWNLOAD SELECTED in the top menu.
All in current folder: click DOWNLOAD ALL in the top menu.
Move, copy, rename, delete
All available from the More options menu (⋯) menu in the file row.
Extract (unzip) archives
Extract (unzip) archives from the More options menu (⋯) menu. Supported formats:
During extraction, a folder with the same name as the archive is created automatically. If a file or folder with that name exists, a new name is generated.
The Web UI also supports manipulating the contents of certain files, which is described in the section Preview files.
Limitations
Soft links are not displayed in the web UI's file navigator, but they still work in your Nuvolos Applications.
